The charging device that is used for rechargeable battery is known in the prior art, and it mainly provides from public electric wire net, and part provides through the mode of solar energy.The corresponding charging process that this permission charging device is an energy storing device provides electric current, and said charging device comprises the control unit that contains microcontroller under most of situation, and said energy storing device for example is a battery.This has prolonged the useful life of battery especially.
Especially, when not having available public electric wire net, be used for the solar energy of energy supply.Yet, enough spaces that this needs sunlight and has gatherer.Therefore, the charging device with this energy supply has corresponding big size, and just why portable design often is impossible reason.
US 7,180, and 264 B2 have solved this problem of portable charger, and the charging current of battery produces through a kind of device, and said device comprises fuel tank, burner, temperature element (TE and the control device with fuel.Because its physical attribute, so if temperature element (TE is connected to power consumption equipment, then temperature element (TE produces voltage and/or electric energy, thereby electric current takes place to flow.The precondition that has said thermoelectric voltage is between a side of temperature element (TE and a relative side thereof, to have certain temperature difference.Therefore, a side of temperature element (TE is heated through the burner that is used to burn from the fuel of fuel tank, and the opposite side of temperature element (TE has the temperature of surrounding environment, thereby guarantees the needed temperature difference of said thermoelectric voltage.This mode allows lithium ion and lithium polymerization cell under the maximum capacitance of 05 ampere-hour (Ah), to be recharged especially.
The weak point of this technical scheme is the low relatively efficient of this temperature element (TE.This is caused by the following fact, that is, the heat that is transmitted into temperature element (TE from burner also can be passed to a relative side of temperature element (TE, thereby possibly not spread by diffusion or inefficent ground quilt.This fact of temperature of opposite side that the temperature of surrounding environment adapts to the temperature element (TE of burner heating apace causes no longer can providing and produces the needed temperature difference of electric current, thereby prolongs the needed time of battery charge.Why this need energy storing device and the reason that battery can not be recharged effectively of the more high-capacitance in longer charging interval just.Charging possibly have to after the short time, interrupt, and recovers until required temperature difference.Therefore, more the battery of high-capacitance and energy storing device can not be gentle and charge effectively, and said more high-capacitance for example is 30Ah or higher, as the automobile situation of the energy storing device of motor vehicle particularly.

In beginning, it is to be noted that identical label representes the same parts among the embodiment.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 show the apparatus of the present invention that are used for energy storing device 2 is charged and the functional setting of the inventive method jointly.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows the functional configuration of the device 1 that is used for energy storing device 2 is charged, and wherein, device 1 comprises TRT 3 and charging device 4.TRT 3 preferably is arranged on (not shown) in the housing with charging device 4, and said housing is installed to the cluster engine 12 of vehicle 5.This allows energy storing device 2 flame-out, untapped vehicle 5 is charged so that keep the capacitance of energy storing device 2.The original capacitance amount of energy storing device 2 can keep for a long time, because can offset the consumption to institute's stored energy of self discharge and the power consumption equipment of energy storing device 2.The function of energy storing device 2 can keep equally, especially because gentle charging, so for example, can not have influence on the attribute as the starter battery of the vehicle of energy storing device 2.
Undoubtedly, TRT 3 can be designed as two independent structures unit with charging device 4.This allows TRT 3 can be littler basically, and can be installed to simply on the engine, and the cluster engine 2 of vehicle 5 particularly is because have less relatively space usually in the engine compartment of vehicle 5.In contrast, charging device 4 can be installed on any position with enough spaces.Here importantly TRT 3 is installed on the parts that vehicle 5 equally also can dispel the heat, and charging device 4 is then without any need for thermal component.
On details, as what can in Fig. 2, see, TRT 3 comprises control device 6, burner 7 and temperature element (TE 8, heat dissipation element 9 and is used for the supply of fuel line 10 from the fuel tank 11 of vehicle 5.Control device 6 preferably includes microprocessor.Heat dissipation element 9 preferably includes the engine and/or the cluster engine 12 of vehicle 5, and wherein, the frame parts of vehicle 5 or like also can use.In the engine compartment of vehicle 5, supply of fuel line 10 is connected to the supply of fuel line 13 that is used for engine and/or cluster engine 12, selectively through fuel filter and pump housing (not shown).TRT 3 can be sent to charging device 4 through two circuits 14 and 15 with the charging device that is used for energy storing device 2 is charged 4 needed electric currents.In order to allow 4 pairs of energy storing devices 2 of charging device to charge, charging device 4 is connected to energy storing device 2 through two charging circuits 16 and 17.Preferably, on device 1, provide suitable connector to be used for simple installation, supply of fuel line 10 and charging circuit 16 and 17 can be connected to these suitable connectors.In addition, at least one charging device 6 can be connected to control device 4 through data/address bus 30 with burner 7.
Basically, if between the both sides of temperature element (TE 8, provided needed temperature difference 27, the energy or the electric current that then are used for energy storing device 2 is charged are produced by temperature element (TE 8.That the both sides of temperature element (TE 8 generally are also referred to as is so-called " heat is surveyed " and " cold side ".Therefore, " heat is surveyed " of temperature element (TE 8 is on burner 7, and " the cold survey " of temperature element (TE 8 is on cluster engine 12.Because temperature element (TE 8 only has 5% to 15% poor efficiency, so just special important from the heat radiation of " cold side "." the hot side " at temperature element (TE 8 that deducts efficiency index (for example 5%) goes up the heat (for example 50Watt) that is produced by burner 7 must be from " cold side " diffusion (being 47.5Watt therefore) of temperature element (TE 8.According to of the present invention, this function is realized that by cluster engine 12 cluster engine 12 absorbs the heat radiation of " cold side ", thereby as cooling element.This has guaranteed that eternal stationary temperature differs from 27 on temperature element (TE 8, because cluster engine 12 remains " cold side " temperature or the air themperature of surrounding environment basically.In order to keep this stationary temperature to differ from 27, also need the temperature of burner 7 be remained constant.In this respect, it is especially important the suitably mixing of control air and fuel, thereby satisfy the for example needs of steam burner 7.According to the present invention, realize that by control device 6 wherein, burner 7 correspondingly is connected to control device 6 through data/address bus 30 in this function of duration of work of burner 7.
Yet burner 7 will be activated and the time point of initial activation will depend on the temperature of engine and/or cluster engine 12.This temperature should be preferably lower than threshold value 18, for example is 50 ℃ to the maximum, thereby provides the required temperature difference 27 of temperature element (TE 8, so that allowable temperature element 8 carries out work with optimized efficiency index.Therefore, monitoring means 19 is connected to control device 6, the temperature of control device 6 valuations and monitoring cluster engine 12.Temperature is preferably measured by transducer 20, and transducer 20 sends relevant numerical to monitoring means 19 to be used for assessment.For this reason, transducer 20 preferably be arranged on the cluster engine 12 and on cluster engine 12 with temperature element (TE 8 " cold side " be connected the website direct neighbor.Here, device 1 and housing thereof preferably be designed to make transducer 20 after device 1 is installed on the cluster engine 12 automatically in abutting connection with cluster engine 12, and can measure the temperature of heat dissipation element 9 suitably, i.e. the heat dissipation element 19 of cluster engine 12.This allows monitoring means 19 to be lower than threshold value 18 in the temperature of cluster engine 12 and through data/address bus 30 corresponding signal is sent to control device 6 when following.It is like this especially when the cluster engine 12 of vehicle 5 has cooled down after flame-out.For example, vehicle is flame-out at time point 21, and the temperature of cluster engine 12 is in time point 22 arrival threshold values 18, as shown in Figure 3.From time point 22, burner 7 will be lighted, and will charge to energy storing device 2, and TRT 3 sends to charging device 4 with electric current.Owing to preferably used described " intelligent charger " 4, so can use the charging process of condition of type and the suitable energy storing device 2 of all suitable energy storing devices 2.
The charge condition of energy storing device 2 can be for example electric variable through measured energy storage device 2 carry out valuation and monitoring, said electric variable for example is voltage, internal resistance, current drain etc.This can directly directly be accomplished by charging device 4 or monitoring means 19, and said charging device 4 or monitoring means 19 are transmitted to control device 6 with relevant numerical through data/address bus 30.For example, monitoring means 19 is realized this function and is provided with voltage measuring apparatus 23 subsequently.Voltage measuring apparatus 23 correspondingly is connected to energy storing device 2, thereby allows to measure and allow 19 pairs of voltages of monitoring means to monitor.As shown in Figure 4, as long as vehicle 5 is flame-out at time point 21, then the voltage of energy storing device 2 descends with the function of its condition, time etc. from its maximum 28, and energy storing device 2 is no longer charged by the generator of vehicle 5.The reason that this voltage descends is the self discharge of energy storing device 2 on the one hand, and reason on the other hand is the power consumption equipment and the device of the present invention 1 of for example warning system, wireless central locking system etc.Therefore, when starting burner 7 and/or installing after 1, control device 6 is known the charge condition of energy storing device 2 always, thereby allows to select suitable charging process, selects from control device 6 or charging device 4 especially.Under the simplest situation, deposit the threshold value (not shown) and be used for corresponding charging process, keep charging thereby when reducing under the first threshold, still exist, under the situation of reducing to below the next threshold value, will there be so-called IU charging process.
If because the threshold value of having reduced to engine temperature at time point 22 places is below 18 and ignition combustion device 7, for example 200 ℃ lighted and correspondingly be heated to fuel will in burner 7 so.For example, arrive this temperature at time point 24 places, therefore, the temperature difference 27 that is about 150 ℃ will be regulated between " hot side " and " cold side ", and temperature element (TE 8 will carry out work with optimized efficiency index.This means that from time point 24, temperature element (TE 8 produces will be by the voltage of charging device 4 uses.Therefore, can start charging device 4, make electric current flow to charging device 4 from temperature element (TE 8, said electric current will carry out suitable coupling so that energy storing device 2 is charged by charging device 4.In order between charge period, to keep the optimized temperature difference 27 that depends on employed temperature element (TE 8 types, advantageously the temperature of cluster engine 12 and the temperature of burner 7 are carried out continuous measurement.For example, the variations in temperature of this cluster engine 12 that allows solar radiation or similar reason are caused responds.This variations in temperature between the time point 24 and 26 has been shown in Fig. 5.Its reason is from such fact, that is, " cold side " of temperature element (TE 8 is corresponding to the temperature of cluster engine 12.The temperature of burner 7 is preferably measured through transducer 25, and transducer 25 sends to monitoring means 19 with measured value, and transducer 25 be installed in respectively burner 7 the outside and with the tie point of " the hot side " of temperature element (TE 8 on.Monitoring means 19 is the data that measure of valuation and they are transmitted to control device 6 suitably, thereby the burning in the burner 7 will be controlled to allow to keep 27 the mode of differing from of temperature desired on the temperature element (TE.Yet this control is only carried out under specific qualification situation, because " the hot side " of temperature element (TE 8 can not exceed specific maximum 29.Reach very narrow of scope of the optimize efficiency of temperature element (TE 8.Here it is why for heat dissipation element 9; Promptly for cluster engine 12; It is highly important that; The temperature that can absorb for a long time on the great amount of heat " thereby cold side " keeps constant as much as possible, and does not need to regulate again the temperature of burner 7, i.e. the temperature of " the hot side " of temperature element (TE 8.
Such operation allows charging device 4 selectively to provide the electric current of TRT 3 and/or temperature element (TE 8, thereby can charge to energy storing device 2.Therefore, the voltage of energy storing device 2 begins to rise from time point 24 once more.If exceeded threshold value, then can suitably adjust charging process, thereby the energy storing device 2 that guarantees vehicle 5 charges with the mode of gentleness for different charging process storages.If the voltage of energy storing device 2 has reached desirable maximum 28, can see like time point 26 places, then preferably remove the state of activation of burner 7 once more.This makes the temperature on the temperature element (TE 8 " hot side " drop to the temperature of " cold side " basically, as shown after time point 26 among Fig. 5.Therefore, the fuel pollutant being saved and during the burning of burner 7, produce also will reduce.Possibly make that also burner 7 remains state of activation and charging is kept in execution.In this case, burner 7 can for example removed state of activation after the several hrs.In addition; Preferably, if detecting the voltage that the temperature of cluster engine 12 exceeds threshold value 18 or energy storing device 2, monitoring means 19 soars to maximum 28 (not shown), for example; 13.4Volt with 12Volt energy storing device 2 then removes the state of activation of burner 7.So this means no longer needs of function that the engine of vehicle 5 started apparatus of the present invention 1.If self temperature of burner 7 has surpassed corresponding threshold value, then burner 7 will be disengaged state of activation equally, and the temperature of burner 7 is corresponding to the temperature of " the hot side " of temperature element (TE 8.This can prevent to surpass the maximum temperature of temperature element (TE 8, thereby prevents to damage temperature element (TE 8.
If the voltage of energy storing device 2 is reduced to below the threshold value once more, then burner 7 will be activated and energy storing device 2 will be recharged once more, as stated.
In addition, optionally the threshold value of the voltage (not shown) of Considering Energy storage device 2 is also charged to energy storing device 2 to be used for active device 1 subsequently.Only this means temperature fallen in threshold value below 18 and the voltage of energy storing device 2 correspondingly reduced under the situation below the threshold value just ignition combustion device 7.For example, monitoring means 19 is monitored this threshold value.If voltage was reduced to below the threshold value after certain time period of the condition that depends on energy storing device 2, then install 1 and will be activated and energy storing device 2 will utilize suitable charging process to charge.If reached threshold value 28, then install 1 and will be disengaged state of activation once more.Based on the condition and the size of energy storing device 2, device 1 this activation for example causes the duty cycle from 30 minutes to 20 hours about every day.This has reduced and has installed 1 duty cycle, thereby if there is no need then burner 7 can combustion fuel.This has also prolonged the useful life of temperature element (TE 8 and other parts.
Selectively, several temperature element 8 can be connected and/or be connected in parallel, thereby higher electric current and/or higher voltage can be provided.This is used for specialized application especially, needs for obtaining the optimize efficiency index because the temperature on " hot side " rises.
The description to device 1 and function thereof as the front is given is shown; Device 1 of the present invention can charge with the energy storing device 2 to vehicle 5 of mode fully independently; And can keep the for example capacitance of the highest 300Ah of energy storing device 2, rather than must be set up to the connection of the electronic circuit of vehicle 5.Especially, this depends on the following fact, and promptly the temperature of engine and/or cluster engine 12 is directly monitored by device 1.This allows device 1 to activate corresponding parts, and energy storing device 2 is charged.This advantageously makes device 1 to be arranged on easily and neatly in the device 5.For this reason, comprise that the device 1 of TRT 3 and charging device 4 only must be connected to cluster engine 12, and the connector of the device 1 that is provided must be connected to supply circuit 13 and energy storing device 2.Have only three-line ( charging circuit 16 and 17 and fuel supply circuit 10) must be connected to device 1, thereby allow energy storing device 2 is charged.The complicacy that need not arrive the electronic circuit of vehicle 5 connects.
The deformation program that also has a kind of device 1 wherein, provides the connection of the electronic circuit of vehicle 5.Therefore, possibly between the circuit of vehicle 5 and control device 6, there is exchanges data.This fuel quantity, inquiry that can be used to inquire about fuel tank especially started which for example the current consuming apparatus, inquiry of warning system whether just at ato unit or ato unit or more.The electronic circuit of vehicle 5 can optionally be controlled device 1 of the present invention.
